Sure… but unless you’re talking like, I2P decentralized alternative internet… or torrents…
… (almost) everything runs pretty much entirely on servers that are owned by a handful of megacorps.
Almost every physical part of the internet fundamentally is literally controlled by corpos, and they also govern almost all the software that is run on that physical stuff.
Yeah, it didn’t used to be that way, so extensively and thoroughly, yeah, it doesn’t have to be in the future… but like, how, what’s the plan?
See how that compares to ‘detox from toxic corpo social media’ as… an actually actionable plan that produces results?
I dunno, I don’t generally care for self expression for self expression’s sake, in the form of saying things to a small audience that said small audience will just generally agree with, as compared to a potentially actionable plan to actually cause the change that is being prescribed by that statement.
There’s expressing feelings, and there’s “here’s something you could maybe do to remedy the situation causing those feelings, to achieve the effect I desire”.
countering almost all stuff online is corpo (except piracy)
internet archive? the millions of servers making up the fediverse? foss maintainers and organizations, wikipedia, etc. if you have a computer, you can make a webpage. yes, that old mac you played oregan trail on instead of doing your research could host a server. the internet is always 1 foss maintainer from collapsing and most servers are old laptops hosting a personal site nobody has visited before, and along with that, decentralized media and archives for said media. most web domains are not known because theres quite a few random kids (like me) who learn javascript, html, css, et cetera and make a personal site and host it hoping someone will visit, hoping someone will care, and most of them have 0 visits from anyone other than the creator. example.org is a real domain by the way.
your computer sometimes acts as a router, if someone near you is looking for a site, and their device and/or router can’t find it, they’ll look to nearby devices to see if they know where it is, so sometimes your device does that. if you have folding@home installed on any of your devices, your device will temporarily become a server as long as you have it running.
many small buisnesses and some schools have their own sites. those (usually) aren’t owned by megacorp
sorry for the rant and have a great day (also sorry for bad grammar/spelling too tired to fix a the moment)
